The new facial ink is the latest addition to the Maroon 5 frontman's collection of body art.

Adam Levine showed off his latest tattoo on Tuesday, and spoiler alert: It’s on his face.

The Maroon 5 frontman debuted the new ink — a black rose that extends along the left side of his face from his temple down to his cheekbone — on his wife Behati Prinsloo’s Instagram Stories. In the snap, the singer side-eyes the camera from the passenger seat of a car while holding a bottle of Calirosa tequila in his expertly manicured hand. You can also see a close-up of the ink in action on Calirosa’s Instagram Stories.

Based on his Instagram activity, the flower must be fairly new, considering his face can be seen clearly tattoo-free in posts dating as recently as just prior to Thanksgiving — Nov. 16 and 21, to be exact.

Back in October, the former The Voice coach unveiled yet another tattoo in his impressive collection: a butterfly trapped in cobwebs stamped firmly on his throat. The rocker’s overall look has also undergone numerous transformations this year, as he’s changed his hair from a Lord of the Rings-inspired “Gandalf white-ish silver” to blue to green and back to the current state of his natural brunette.

Levine and his Maroon 5 bandmates just finished an eight-week tour across North America (which was postponed from its original 2020 dates due to the coronavirus pandemic) in support of their latest album Jordi. Next, they’ll cap that trek with two back-to-back nights playing The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas to ring in the new year on Dec. 30 and 31.

Sade will not be attending their Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony this week.

The English group, made up of Sade Adu, Paul Denman, Stuart Matthewman, and Andrew Hale, are among this year's inductees into the prestigious institution. The ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles this Saturday.

However, a representative for Sade confirmed on Tuesday through the band's official website that none of the members would be attending the event.

"We're sorry that we won't be able to join everyone in person to celebrate alongside the other artists. However, our absence does not lessen how deeply this recognition means to us," they stated. "Being welcomed into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is a wonderful honour and a meaningful opportunity to express our gratitude, not just to everyone who voted for us, but to every person who has made our music part of their lives."

The representative also acknowledged their manager Roger Davies for his support and paid tribute to the late engineer and co-producer Mike Pela, who passed away in 2022.

"We owe so much to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey," they continued, before signing the message: "Sade, Stuart, Andrew, and Paul. Mike Pela, the fifth member of Sade... This recognition belongs to you just as much as it does to us, Mike. You will always be our soul mate."

Sade will be joining Oasis among the artists missing this year's ceremony. Liam Gallagher previously addressed his absence in a message on X, saying the journey was "too far" for him to make just "for the night".

The other musicians being recognised at this weekend's ceremony include Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, the late Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan.
